Honestly, if Trump wins, I think the geopolitical impact will be massive. His "America First" policy could really strain U.S. relations with allies in NATO and Asia, and I imagine we'll see some pullbacks on climate commitments too.

True! Trump wasn't exactly a fan of international alliances. For India, though, he could be a double-edged sword. On one hand, he and Modi seemed to get along pretty well, but on the other, his immigration policies were super strict, which affected a lot of Indian tech professionals.

Looking at this objectively from New Delhi's perspective - a second Trump presidency could actually benefit India in some ways. During his first term, Trump took a much harder stance on China than Biden, which aligned with India's interests. Plus, he was openly supportive of India's position in the Indo-Pacific.

True, but let's not forget how unpredictable he was. Remember how he offered to "mediate" the Kashmir issue despite India's clear position that it's a bilateral matter? His transactional approach to foreign policy could be problematic.

Even if a trump win is better for India, your life in India will still say the same. So all this is meaningless.

Your annual appraisal may get reduced, so that actually affects. Just giving an example which is understandable.

I'm more worried about H1B visas. Last time Trump tried to restrict them. With AI and tech layoffs being hot topics now, he might be even tougher on work visas this time.

Indeed he will be, and he may start sending plane loads of Gujaratis back!! (No offence to Guajaratis, it is just a reference to a recent plane load)

How can Gujaratis be send back? Are they illegal or on Visa? I believe they are majorly family based immigrant which can not be touched when they are citizen.

Yes, I can recall that H1 and L1 visas and renewals were severely affected last time. Indians in USA are rejoicing Trump coming back, but it would affect them the most if they don't have Green card.
